Greetings,

I have a SQL2005 32-bit Std A/P cluster that will not use AWE memory
beyond
3GB. The server is running on Server 2003 r2 Enterprise edition, again
32-bit.

1. Added the domain service account to enable 'lock pages in memory'
2. Turned on AWE enabled in memory options
3. Edited the boot.ini with adding both /3GB and */PAE switches, rebooted
both nodes.

My config value for awe_enabled is 1 and running value is 0 in
sp_configure.

Did I miss something at the OS level? The cluster is running on 2 Dell
blade
servers with 2 dual-cores and 8 GB of ram in each.

I have read and followed:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190673.aspx

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175581.aspx

But still cant get this thing to use AWE memory, any thoughts much
appreciated.- Hide quoted text -

What do you have configured for min memory and max memory?

#42

both nodes have 8GB ram installed.

min = 200MB
max = 6000MB
